Remigijus Januskevicius
I was born on the fifteenth of May in 1976, in Jonava, Lithuania. I still live and work here. My creative path started in the early childhood. I attended The School of Arts for Children and after graduating Secondary school in 1994 I entered Vilnius Academy of Arts where I graduated Department of Painting (1998).
Nature, travel, people's philosophy of life, old homesteads, gardens provides the inspiration for my creation. The main theme of my works is the joy of life, which in my paintings performs not only an aesthetic, but also a therapeutic function. All paintings are done in the technique of oil painting on canvas.
After long experiments and searches in oil painting, using various oil painting technologies, exploiting the special properties of oil paints, combining subtle leisure and pastose painting methods and the themes of the world I create, I discovered my own painting style.
